It allows you to manage public or private DNS zones, configure record sets, and control name resolution for your applications and services. This resource provides scalable, reliable, and low-latency DNS management integrated with other Google Cloud services. ``` gcp.dns_managed_zone ``` ## Fields | Title | ID | Type | Data Type | Description | | ------------------------- | ---- | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | _key | core | string | | ancestors | core | array | | cloud_logging_config | core | json | | creation_time | core | timestamp | The time that this resource was created on the server.
